Alien Abductions - Psychological Point of View

[CatBreath]

well...
a few days ago a watched this really good show about alien abductions
on the science channel

at first i thought its a believer show...
it described in depth the believers and hipnotic sessions to the ppl who claim to have been abducted, hipnotic sessions done by believers...
well it all seemed well and goody...
the hipnotic sessionist would ask the ppl and push them for answers to his questions
and they would usually come up with answers about the abduction
the hipno terpists were once a trained psychiatrists and once just someone who knew how to use hypnosis
both were, as stated above believers in alien abductions and believed that the patient in session has been abducted.

now i was about to close the TV (coz i thought that the skeptic side wont show, which makes the whole thing kinda pointless, scientifically and logically whise) when the skeptic side finally arrived

they brought these different psychologists and they brought up the very convincing case of suggestion.
the psychologists that actually do the sessions do hipnotic sessions where they force the patient to come up with data considering his/hers abduction
and it has been proven that every 4th person would make the whole thing up... would uncontously make it up from his/hers imagination when being pressed hard enough...
+most of the ppl who calimed to have had those were very creative ppl who are much more vonurable to suggestion than others
+those ppl take gruop sessions... where they are encourged to believe in thier abductions...
basically its a very comfortable enviroment to grow into the belief in the "fact" that you have been abducted even if its not true.

in conclusion:
group sessions for ppl who claim to be abducted may cause them to believe they have been abducted when they have not
but that could only happen if they join
if its free for everyone to join than its a problem.......
because to avoid this thing only ppl that actually have been abducted should be treated this way but... no one has been proven to be abducted.
going to a psychologist that trys to direct you what to say is very harmful... and thats what happens here

well that just sucks

remeber lads that the only way of proving something is the scientific way

Thats all well and good, but that still doesnt explain implants, scarring or injuries on abductees. Ive seen some of these implants that once located and removed are inexplicable. This is definate physical proof of something going on, that coupled with the testomonies of these otherwise regular people presents a very convincing case. I have no doubt that not all people who claim to have been abducted are telling the truth, however I have real first hand experience with some that I believe have.

[CatBreath]

yes but no implants have been actually found...
and no marks too
just stories till now
well i havent seen or heard of any anyway

[maddhatter]

Oh, I strongly disagree, It's not something your going to see on your evening news, but implants have been found in some abduction cases, some removed and tested and documented. There's tons of documentation on not only this but also the strange markings that often accompany abduction cases.

[CatBreath]

where?

[Nemesis]

Everywhere! Its just that so-called-scientists dont consider it as actual proof. It is tho. These scientists who DO think it is proof loose their status. That's why not much scientists dare to research it... too bad..
Id like to see their faces when they'll be abducted ;D

[CatBreath]

thats not true...
many scientists have gone on thier way to finding all this stuff...
but i dont think and never seen theyve found implants...
there were ppl saying they have implants and ppl saying they scared them and such but no physical proof

[Nemesis]

It IS true! People are afraid they loose their status as well-known-scientist. Face it, Stanton Friedman lost his too
About the implants.. then I wonder what those x-ray-photo's show.. and what the thingies are which is photographed after they took it out.
Ill scan some for ye.

[CatBreath]

i even watched another show about it...
which CLEARLY SAID THAT NO IMPLANTS WERE EVER FOUND!

but they did find scars and strange thingies like that...

[Nemesis]

Thingies like weird lil machinery look quite like implants to me Thats what they found.. and SHEESH this aint the only show bout it!

[CatBreath]

hey i watched 2 different shows!
hehe
and no machines were found

[Nemesis]

Ooomg! TWO shows!!

[CatBreath]

the thing about shows u see in science chanells is that u can usually trust their info more than what you find on the net...
and they usually (the ones i saw anyway) take a more scientifical approach...
and... im sorry but theres no other way
